BIRRC-A1241.JPG

An illustration of the tale of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. The piper walks in front, playing, while the children (three right behind, a fourth following further behind) are running after him. Everyone is brightly dressed, the piper in his multicoloured, printed clothes most of all. In the background you can see the landscape with rolling green hills and the outline of the town.

Inscriptions / Translations:  RATTENFÄNGER v. HAMELN HS IX. 37. (bottom left corner)
